Designer, Artist, and Entrepreneur

Passionate and motivated lifestyle apparel designer with a proven track record of extraordinary success in the workplace and academics, specializing in innovative product design and development, including surface texture creation, digital skills, material research and implementation, competitive product research, AI implementation, and planning. Organisational skills such as team management, collaboration skills, time management, commercial awareness, leadership, and positivity.

Facing organizational challenges, being involved in multi-product design & development, conducting business competitiveness investigations, executing pragmatic experiments on product performance, analysis, interactive research, small team management, learning business challenges, collaboration with brand’s designers, artists, and craftsman, accepting criticism, finding common grounds to the disagreements has helped me mature my professional hard and soft skills in my current and previous roles over the past 7+ years.

I believe in using a research-oriented design methodology with an individualized product design approach. This includes defining an intrinsic product range plan specifically tailored for the targeted market, identifying essential market-thriving products, offering solutions to challenges, and providing competitive price points and marketing approaches that cater to various customer groups and demographics.

I currently work as a collaborative senior designer at Shanghai Weishi Industrial Co., Ltd., supporting the development of design ideas and creative solutions for the brands Gap, Old Navy, H&M, Next, Tchibo, Mango, Walmart, and Lidl. So far, my role has evolved to include product design and executing product development processes, conducting competitor analysis and technical evaluation, providing key market insights, recommending apparel and accessory assortments, creating assortment contributors, seasonal debriefs, tech-pack creation, creating 3D/2D CADs using Adobe Illustrator and AI, sample evaluation, multi-channel material quality inspection, and factory/vendor/partner collaboration.

“A successful designer should be constantly curious, open to constructive criticism, able to overcome challenges, willing to explore new ideas, and eager to gain hands-on experience. If they don’t face any of these essentials, they will never be better than yesterday.”

Meet Bobo

Meet our 3 years old male Dalmatian dog called ‘‘Bobo’’, who was named after my French partner.

Our Bobo is super active, enjoys endless running and playing with his human friends and other companions around!
